I do not think Avast will work if installed during safe mode ... but I could be wrong. Someone else might know more.

But, give us more info about your sustem and why you want to install Avast in safe mode. It is possible someone may have help to solve your problem.

I understand my problem is it boot in 3 min. after it show error.
I sure is it has virus,because I not install/uninstall new program.
In 3 min ,I can't install anti virus program in normal mode.

I use win xp.

Can install Avast home 4.6 in safe-mode?

No. Windows Installer won't be able at that mode.
On contrary, you can uninstall avast at Safe Mode.
Why don't you boot in Safe Mode and run avast from there?
Why don't you schedule a boot time scanning?

I'm assuming he doesn't have it installed - and he can't get it installed due to some virus.

My advice is to run some online scanner - search on google for either "Housecall", "Panda Online Scan", "Norton online scan" or if you know some others use them. Hope this helps!

On contrary, Safe Mode is not the way to install an antivirus the correct way.

And a few time at a first boot computer in normal mode before error screen show .
I no have time to  open every windows.

So, can you run an on-line scanning booting in Safe Mode?
Do you connect by modem or you have a DSL connection (+ a router, etc.)?

Try running Trend Micro Sysclean in Safe Mode. (You may need to copy the files in normal mode- unless your CD reader works in Safe Mode.)

Or Stinger, as mentioned, Dr Web CureIT! or avast! Virus Cleaner.

If you look at some of my posts in another thread when I had some user identity problems I had to install in safe mode and it worked (and is still working) fine.
